Local semantic recall MCP server for citation-integrity workflows. Enables semantic search over a text corpus, returning file paths and page numbers for verification, with 100% local processing using ONNX embeddings and LanceDB.

Federated, local-first search for AI agents: one query fans across transcripts, files, a knowledge graph, a vector store, the live web, and YouTube, fused by trust-weighted RRF into one ranked answer. Five modes (grep/lexical/semantic/hybrid/rerank), runs entirely on your machine over MCP.

Free, unlimited web search MCP server using Gemini CLI's Google Search grounding to provide cited, live web results for any AI agent.

CLI-first web and code search for agents, with MCP support for integration with IDEs like Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Code.

A semantic search system for Claude Code transcript history, exposed as an MCP server so Claude Code can query its own past sessions.

Enables agents to find lines in local text files by meaning rather than exact keywords, judging each nonblank line against a natural-language intent and returning scores for every line.

A self-hosted, MCP-native web-search backend for AI agents that provides meta-search, clean extraction, RAG with citations, and GitHub project selection.

Enables web search and AI-summarized answers via an x402-gated gateway, with options for structured results or enriched summaries, accessible as an MCP server.

Enables local, read-only keyword search across past Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and ChatGPT conversations plus markdown notes, with exact source citations and context retrieval.

Enables AI agents to run semantic search over local Obsidian or Markdown vaults, returning notes ranked by meaning with paths, headings, scores, and snippets, and to trigger incremental reindexing of changed notes. Everything runs on the user's own machine, so no note content leaves it.
